vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Flight controls" 08-14-03, 17:32z  A discussion started on another forum has me puzzled. When I learned to fly ( Wilbur and Orville and I were buddies <g> ) I was taught that power=Altitude and pitch = speed. this was the same for my Instrument rating. this discussion is going round and round because several people say they've been taught power/alt - pitch/spd for VFR VFR VFR VFR but the opposite for IFR. Have things changed or is someone confused here? IMHO, if I'm following a glideslope in bad weather, the last thing I want to be doing is chasing it by pushing the nose up and down.
